The man who was my father made his life transition yesterday.
I spent the day in curious contemplation……mulling over the few scenes we had
played out in this lifetime. He left when I was three and only made brief
forays back into my orbit over the years….no “daddy’s little princess”….no “picking
me up when life’s lessons knocked me on my ass”….no “beaming with joy over my
fine children and grandchildren”……

At my final visit he lay in his deathbed…a frail shell of a man...oblivious to my
presence with a drug induced sleep…and I searched my soul for forgiveness …that
fragrance that violets give to the heel that crushed them….

WOW..........I can't believe how lax I've been with my blogging lately.....well....really with everything! I don't know if it's been the day after day of upper 90's and 100 degree weather or what...but....I've been pretty much worthless! Summertime in the deep South......ya gotta love it!

I started eating Paleo last weekend and have spent tons of time looking up recipes to try. What's Paleo....it's been described as being 'caveman style' of eating. Basically it's meat, fresh veggies, some fruits and nuts. I have stopped eating sugar...dairy (except butter)...legumes...and gluten. I've been eating this way for a week now and have been very surprised at how easy a transition it's been. The best thing so far is that I never seem to be hungry. Will I stick to this.....we'll see.

I needed something different...bright....and cheerful... for my computer background so I downloaded a calendar from Geninne's blog. You should check her out.....LOTS of eye candy! Love your July calendar Geninne!

Hope I can get myself out of this "slump" soon. It's supposed to rain here all weekend and I was hoping to do a little hiking. Might be a good time to stay in and try to conquer that sewing maching sitting in my studio!

My Tarot Card Is The Hermit

You are The Hermit

The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.

The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.

The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.
